Ramp Cofounders Karim Atiyeh and Eric Glyman founded the corporate credit card startup just two years ago and launched it right as the pandemic started to spread across America.ust four months after raising a $115 million round led by Goldman Sachs and payments goliath Stripe, two-year-old corporate credit card startup Ramp has raised another $300 million from investors at a $3.9 billion valuation, more than double the $1.6 billion value investors placed on it in April.
"It's really been unbelievable, but we also have such a long way to go," CEO Eric Glyman, a 31-year-old Harvard College graduate and former financial analyst, says of the company's explosive growth since its launch in February 2020."American Express is well over 100 times larger than us, so we just think there's so much more room to run to actually help customers save more money and time.
Despite launching in February 2020 mere weeks before Covid-19 dealt a crippling blow to some U.S. businesses, Ramp now claims more than 2,000 clients—up five-fold this year alone and including buzzy startups Clubhouse and Better alongside established names like real estate firm Douglas Elliman and nonprofit Planned Parenthood.
Though it's picked up big momentum, Ramp faces stiff competition from other fintech companies similarly posting banner years. Divvy was acquired by Bill.com in June for $2.5 billion in stock and cash, nearly 60% more than the Utah startup's last post-funding valuation of $1.6 billion in January. Meanwhile, in late April, older rival Brex landed $425 million in new funding led by Tiber Global, at a $7.4 billion valuation.
